The structure of the photo-storing directory tree

The absolute path of the registered photo is:

photo directory/database name/volume name/camera name/yyyymmdd/hhmmss/file name

The separator (/) should be replaced with the character(s) appropriate for the operating system.

In this example,

photo directory
The directory specified in the Photo Directory field in the Preferences dialog. See Section 14.4 ([*] page).
yyyymmdd
The date of the photo session. For example, 20000102 means 2 January, 2000.
hhmmss
The time of the photo session. For example, 012345 means 01:23:45.

In essence, the photo directory is divided into subdirectories that are named according to databases, which are further divided into volumes.

Integer numbers larger than zero will be assigned to the volumes automatically. For example, the first volume is named 1. The second is 2 and so on. The first volume is created automatically when you create a database.
